There's a version of getting through life that looks completely fine from the outside and feels exhausting on the inside. I work with teens, young adults, and adults who are carrying more than it shows: anxiety, the aftereffects of trauma, major life transitions, or relationship patterns that keep repeating in ways that are hard to explain. I have a particular focus on trauma and attachment wounds and work with many clients who've spent years managing symptoms without ever addressing what's underneath them. My practice is warm and genuinely collaborative. I'll show up as a real partner in your growth, not a distant presence behind a notepad.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience spanning child welfare, institutional settings like the Department of Corrections and Kaiser Permanente, and private practice. This give me a uniquely grounded perspective on the full range of human experience. I've worked extensively with families, adolescents, and adults, helping people navigate mood and personality disorders, domestic violence, anger management, and the complex aftermath of adoption and reunification. I am culturally competent and committed to meeting every client exactly where they are, with unconditional positive regard and a deep belief that there are always underlying causes behind the symptoms and behaviors that bring someone to therapy.
I'm Sinat Aleje, a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over ten years of experience in the mental health field. I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals across a variety of clinical settings, which has deepened my understanding of the emotional, psychological, and social challenges people face. I specialize in treating adults and adolescents with anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and schizoaffective disorder.
Clients often tell me they feel truly seen and heard during our sessions. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where healing can begin, and where clients are empowered to take an active role in their care. I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and am committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based care that evolves with your journey.
If you're looking for a thoughtful, collaborative partner in your mental health care, I’d be honored to work with you.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Long Beach
Finding OCD therapists in Long Beach starts with looking for the right training, not just the right location. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that specifically mention OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or experience helping people living with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Long Beach has a broad mental health care community, including private practices and Long Beach mental health clinics, so it helps to narrow your search by both specialty and logistics. In-person care may work well if you want an office near home, work, school, or transit, while virtual appointments can expand your options across California. For OCD care, look closely at whether a therapist lists OCD as an area of focus or names ERP training directly. You can also compare appointment availability, therapy approach, and free phone consultations to decide who may fit your needs.
Therapy in Long Beach can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check whether your plan may be accepted, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. This makes it easier to find mental health care in Long Beach, CA that matches your needs, schedule, and insurance.
